With the exit of Teja, Balakrishna's 'NTR' was shelved recently. The film was today relaunched through a formal announcement. Its director will be Krish Jagarlamudi.

Profusely thanking Balayya for the precious responsibility given to him, the 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' director has said that the biopic is not just a film-related responsibility. "This responsibility mirrors the affection and self-respect of the Telugus around the world," the 'Manikarnika director tweets.

Earlier today, terming the second collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker for the 'Drushya Kavyam' as destiny, Balayya sounded the bugle. The biopic will be made in Telugu and Hindi. Teja shot some portions in April. The buzz is that Krish wants to shoot the film right from the beginning.
